Hello Stampers! Did you get your Stamparatus reserved during the first reservation window? No?? Me either!! The first window closed only15 minutes after opening. This has given Stampin' Up! very important information, precisely that we paper crafters are very excited about this new tool. So, when this second window opens at 3pm CST, it will stay open until December 30th, no matter if they get 100 or 100,000 reservations. Because of this "no limit" reservation time, there will NOT be a third window. There will be some changes to the shipping plan. Here are the details. Please note that you will have to enter your credit card information however, your card will NOT be charged until the item SHIPS. Please note the following changes per Stampin' Up!:

Beginning March 19th, Stampin' Up! will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first ordered, first shipped) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).

In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.

Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

I hope you set your watch or phone to remind you when to reserve/order this impressive tool.

Hello Stampers!
Christmas is rapidly approaching. I want to share a card we are making in this month's Stamp-a-Stack. I used the Merry Patterns October promotion hostess set that one can earn for orders/parties that reach $300.

Use Memento
Black to stamp the candles in the center of the Whisper White cardstock. Stamp
the candle filler stamps in Cherry Cobbler and Tranquil Tide as shown. Stamp
the ‘flames’ in Daffodil Delight.

Stamp the
candles onto the WW scrap (or a post it note) to make a mask by cutting it
out and gently adhering it over the stamped candles.

Stamp the pine
boughs over the masked candles in Old Olive and Tranquil Tide. Remove mask.

Thank you for joining us for this blog hop! Didn't you just love what Carol shared?!?

This is my quick and easy card using the Painted Harvest suite and four punches. Using the punches only is what makes this card so fast to prepare. I hope you like it and will be inspired to purchase this set (and the punches) if you don't already have them...

I am so often in need of a Thank You card. And, who would not LOVE to get a thank you note for showing kindness towards me (or you)?

Stamp the
sentiment in Early Espresso on the scrap of Peekabo Peach and punch out
with 2” circle punch. Punch the Starburst from Early Espresso scrap. (or
from the center of the Early Espresso panel) Punch a 2 ¼” circle from the
Gold Foil. Layer these and adhere together.

Using the Leaf
Punch, punch 2 Gold Foil and 4 DSP leaves. Adhere to the back of the gold
layered circle as shown. Add dimensionals and set aside.

Adhere the ¾”
strip of DSP to the left side of the Early Espresso panel,
approximately 3/8” from left edge.
Then adhere this panel to the card front.

Adhere
the focal point to the center of the card front as shown. (Be sure if you
punched the Starburst from the Espresso panel that it is completely
covered)

Finish
inside of card as desired.

In case you did not notice, the two patterns of Painted Autumn DSP are front and back of the same sheet. (TIP): If you are cutting for multiple cards, cut the 1 1/2" x 7" strip the whole 12" length of the DSP. Cut that strip at 7" leaving 5" strip. Cut this in half at 3/4" and you have (2) 3/4" x 5" strips to use on card fronts thus getting the most out of your DSP.

I hope you will be inspired by our blog this month. In case you do not have a demonstrator, I would love to earn your sales. To order, click on the image of what you would like to order.
